New research reveals diverse plant life in Kashmir Himalayas' Bhimber hills.
The researchers studied the plants in the Bhimber hills of Kashmir Himalayas to understand their diversity and habitats. They found 93 different plant species, with some families having more species than others. Most plants were found in natural forests, with some growing along roadsides and pedestrian areas. The majority of plants were native to the region, while a smaller number were introduced from elsewhere. The dominant plant form was herbaceous, and most plants were adapted to disturbed habitats. This information can help in managing the forests in the area better.
